Chapter 22 He is kind
It was five o'clock in the morning again, Ning Xi got up on time, breakfast had been prepared long ago, and there was an extra bowl of egg custard this morning.
After breakfast, I packed up and went out with Zhang Ying carrying a basket on my back.
The dried fish and spicy sticks prepared today weighed about thirty kilograms more than yesterday, and the two of them were already sweating profusely after walking for a short time.
Zhang Ying wiped the sweat on her head with a towel, "Xiao Xi, when we make money, we can buy a bullock cart. It's too tiring to walk like this every day."
“Second sister-in-law, can you drive a bullock cart?” Ning Xi couldn’t do it anyway.
"No." Zhang Ying's face fell instantly, "But walking like this every day is too tiring."
"Second Aunt, Brother Nan asked me to start school and go back to school. Then you and the second brother can go out to set up a stall in the morning and fish to make dried fish in the afternoon. The second brother should be able to drive the bullock cart. Then you can buy another bullock cart. Or buy a bike.”
Lu Nan and Lu Lin had talked about Ning Xi's return to school. They also said that Ning Xi would only do it for two months, and then they would let them do it themselves. The two of them had already discussed it, "If your second brother says it, you will be ignored." When we go back to school, this business belongs to our two families. When the time comes, your second brother and I will go out to set up a stall. Xiaonan will still be making spicy strips at home. You will be studying in school, so your family will have less money. "
Zhang Ying said that she gave Ning Xi a small amount of money, not to take advantage of their family, but because she did not want Ning Xi and Lu Nan to feel uncomfortable.
“Brother Nan said he will return to the army in three months at most.”
Zhang Ying wiped her sweat again, "We also know about this. When your second brother said, you can come over to help on the weekend."
Since you want to remember this sentiment, I won’t let you suffer.
Ning Xi raised the corners of her lips slightly and wiped her sweat with a towel. "If the second brother and sister-in-law insist on pulling me and Brother Nan, why don't you listen to my thoughts."
“Say it, you girl has a lot of clever ideas, and everything you say will definitely be useful.”
"We'll wait a few more days and see how things go. If the business is stable, we can rent a house in the town. Then Brother Lin won't have to go back to the village to fish, and Brother Nan can just make spicy strips at home with Brother Nan. He can also join us from time to time. Let’s go out to set up a stall together. Teach him first. When I start school, you two will go out to set up a stall together. I will study in school during the day and help you with some things after school in the evening.”
Zhang Ying looked puzzled, "What should I do with the fish?"
"Pay the villagers to help with the netting, and the fish returned from the net will be sent to the second aunt. The second aunt will help dry the fish. Brother Lin only needs to be responsible for returning to the village once or twice to pick up the dried fish. Of course, the second aunt Help can’t be in vain, we have to calculate the salary for the second aunt.”
“Then what…”
Zhang Yingxi's words of opposition were blocked by Ning Xi as soon as they came to her mouth.
"Xiao Lin and Xiao Xue are still young. It's hard for my second uncle to support two students with his salary. My second aunt can help the family by earning some money from us. You and your second brother can help subsidize the family and save the extra money. Life is slow. It will get better slowly.”
Zhang Ying smiled nonchalantly, "It is the responsibility of me and your second brother to help your parents take care of your younger siblings."
"Then we can't always let Second Aunt help in vain." Ning Xi smiled and nodded, "Let's do it for another two days and see. If the business is good, we can start asking the villagers to help net fish and save more dried fish now. , our dried fish business can continue in winter.”
"You girl, you think long-term. If it were the case, your second brother and I would never think of storing dried fish, so it is the wisest decision for me and your second brother to drag you two to do business together." " Second sister-in-law, if you believe me and are willing to follow my method, our dried fish will not only become famous in Yao Township, but sooner or later it will be sold to other towns and cities, and even become popular throughout China. "
Ning Xi originally planned to hand over the business here to Lu He and Zhang Ying and then go back to school to study hard. After going to college, she would continue the business of dried fish, and then promote her dried fish to the whole of China. Since Lu He and the others would not forget their roots and must pull her into business, and she wouldn't mind making a lot of money with them.
Zhang Ying hurriedly shook his head after hearing this: "How can we have so many people selling in other towns and cities? Even if we bring in the whole village, we can't go to many cities. And how can they sell dried fish for us?" Abandoned from home.”
“We don’t need to use many of our own hands. Just like my uncle and others in the clothing business, we also open a factory and are only responsible for making goods and selling them to other cities at wholesale prices.”
Ning Xi said this. Zhang Ying seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. She understood how to open a factory to sell her products. What she didn't understand was that they could really open a factory in their small fish-dried business?
They chatted all the way and soon reached the town. At the entrance of the textile factory, there were several old ladies standing where they had set up their stall yesterday.
The smile on Zhang Ying's face fell instantly. "Did someone see that our business was good and took our place?"
“It’s okay, you can just find an empty spot.” Ning Xi didn’t have any big mood swings. She made a name for herself on the first day, so there wasn’t much problem with where the stall was.
A sharp-eyed aunt saw the two of them from a distance and hurriedly shouted, "Ouch! You two are here."
Another aunt also hurriedly said, "Hurry up, we have taken all the seats for you."
Zhang Ying glanced at Ning Xi: What is going on?
Ning Xi shrugged and said that she didn't know either, but she speeded up her steps. Before she reached the stall, she had already greeted them with a smile, "Aunts have gone out to buy groceries so early."
An aunt in floral clothes said helplessly, "My little fat guy has been making trouble since he got up early in the morning. He insists on eating your spicy strips. I have no choice but to come out and wait."
"Auntie, the spicy strips are delicious, but you shouldn't give them to your children too much. They shouldn't eat them on an empty stomach in the morning. There are a lot of chili peppers in them. It's definitely fine for adults. Children don't know how to control their stomachs." Ning Xi set up the stall, While reminding the other party.
Zhang Ying also hurriedly agreed, "That's right, if a child eats too much chili pepper, his stomach will definitely not be able to bear it."
Another aunt in gray clothes said with a smile, "Why are you two ladies so honest? Others are eager to sell more of their own products, but you are here to remind us to give less food to our children."
"Haha! We definitely want to make more money! If it weren't for the sake of making money, who would be willing to wake up early and stay late at night, but we only do conscientious business, and we can't do those unethical things." Ning Xi's stall has been set up, and she took Oil-raising paper: "How much does the auntie want? How much is half a catty? Buy less. The child will really not be able to bear it if he eats too much."
The aunt smiled and said, "One pound, my little son also wants to eat."
"Okay!" Ning Xi weighed a pound of spicy sticks and wrapped them for her aunt. "Auntie, don't take what I tell you seriously. You can take some home and hide some, and occasionally give a few to your children. They are so spicy. As long as it is wrapped in oil paper and left for two days, it will be fine.”
“Okay, I’ll remember it, you’re a kind-hearted kid.” The aunt took out a dime and handed it to Ning Xi, then walked away with the spicy strips with a smile.
Ning Xi is kind-hearted, but the more important thing is that if a child has a problem because of eating spicy strips, people will not care whether the problem is caused by eating too spicy. They will only think that your spicy strips are the cause of the problem. The problem will not only cause trouble for her and prevent her from doing business, but may also cause her to lose money.
So make it clear from the beginning so that if something goes wrong in the future, she won’t be blamed.
